Yunxi originally planned to come back in the evening, but seeing so many weeds in the field, she hesitated to move.
It seems I'm destined to be a workaholic, never having a moment's rest.
I simply put the basket aside for the time being; after all, it only contained some wild vegetables, and no one would care if they saw it.
He rolled up his sleeves, entered his private plot, and immediately began weeding.
The corn is growing quite tall now, and soybeans have been planted around it as an intercropping crop. This way, we can grow more crops and save some land.
Most families with limited land cultivate crops this way, because planting one more seed means harvesting more grain.
First, I went to pull out the weeds in the corn and soybean fields. Luckily, I was strong enough, otherwise it would have been really difficult to pull out the weeds in such a dry field.
At this point, the soil in the field was already cracking. It would be strange if it didn't crack after being exposed to the sun every day without being watered.
Fortunately, when no one is around, I will water the land and crops myself, and I will come here to water them every two or three days.
I carefully pulled out the weeds from the ground and left them on the walkway outside. After they dried, I could bring them home to use as firewood.
Even if you don't keep it yourself, you don't have to worry about blocking the road. Others will see it and take it back. They won't care much about such a small thing, and besides, you can take it home to start a fire.
Occasionally, you can even find particularly tender wild vegetables, and adhering to the principle of not letting any go unpicked, you can directly store them in your space.
At this moment, Yunxi especially hoped that it would get dark sooner so that the others would leave and she wouldn't have to pull the weeds herself.
When no one is around, use your spatial abilities to pull the grass out cleanly, easily and quickly.
Yunxi never expected that she could work so efficiently. She focused on her work and didn't think about anything else. She finished pulling all the weeds in one field in about half an hour.
Suddenly I realized that even if I don't slack off when I go up the mountain to cut pig feed in the future, it doesn't seem like it's a very tiring job.
They didn't pull up the weeds in the two rows of ridges until it was completely dark.
"Yunxi, it's already dark. It's about time to go back. Don't stay out too late. If you don't get back by dark, wild animals will come down from the mountain."
Yun Shanjun was almost ready to go back. Anyway, there was always more work to be done. He could do a little today and a little tomorrow and finish it quickly.
Yunxi could tell from the way Uncle Jun and Aunt Jun looked that they were preparing to go home. "Uncle Jun, Aunt Jun, you go back first. I'll be back soon too."
It's finally time to leave. I should hurry up and go so I can cheat.
"We'll be going now. Oh, by the way, those three frames you requested are almost finished. Your Uncle Ying and I will bring them to you tomorrow morning before you start work. Don't leave too early then!"
"Understood, Uncle Jun, thank you and Uncle Ying, thank you for your trouble."
"It's no trouble at all, what's there to trouble about? Besides, you even paid for it, it's all in the interest of us."
Yunxi watched as the people walked further and further away. She looked around and saw that there was no one else there. Most of them had left before it got dark.
I quickly stood up straight. I had been bending over to pull weeds for so long that my back felt like it didn't belong to me anymore. I was so tired.
After standing up straight, he moved around the field, controlling the space around him. Wherever he passed, all the grass within a five-meter radius was collected into his space.
Moreover, she glanced into the space and noticed that the grass was exceptionally clean, without bringing any excess soil into it.
As expected, the space did not disappoint me; after one trip, all the weeds had been pulled out.
After pulling out the weeds, Yunxi originally wanted to water the soil as soon as possible, but when she looked at the rows of sweet potatoes planted next to her, the sweet potato leaves were growing everywhere and were too lush.
I thought I should cut down all the overgrown sweet potato stalks first, then water the field. That way, it wouldn't interfere with my work.
The corn and soybeans together cover about three-tenths of the land, because they are intercropped. Potatoes and sweet potatoes also each occupy about three-tenths of the land.
Even with only a small plot of land, the sweet potato stalks can be harvested quickly.
Even at the fastest speed, it still took about an hour to cut down all the excess stalks. The excess nutrients would then be transferred to the sweet potatoes growing underground, so there was no need to worry about the stalks wasting their nutrients.
Unexpectedly, they were quite good at harvesting. Yunxi thought that if the sweet potato stalks they harvested were used for propagation, they could plant at least three acres of land.
Unfortunately, there simply wasn't enough land for him to cultivate, and he wasn't very familiar with the deep mountains and forests. If he were, he could have found a relatively open space and planted sweet potato vines everywhere.
It seems I should go to the mountains more often when I have free time, wander around everywhere, and at least get a clear understanding of the mountain environment.
You should at least have a general idea of what's there and what's there.
All the cut sweet potato stalks were stored in the space. The thin stems on the sweet potato stalks, after peeling off the fibers, are also quite delicious when stir-fried.
Since it's something I remember as delicious, I definitely can't miss it. I have to get my hands on it and try it out.
Once it was confirmed that there was no work to be done in the fields, the water collected from the river in the space was controlled, and a light rain began to fall on the nine-tenths of the land.
It rained for about half an hour, until all the rainwater had soaked into the soil, and then it stopped.
Before leaving, I glanced at the two rows of weeds I had just pulled, thinking how clean my private plot had become.
It seems a bit inappropriate to have just this little bit of grass, so I simply collected all the grass that I had just thrown on the ground and piled it up outside the yard when I got home, including the grass inside the house.
At that moment, I felt as if I were the only person in the entire world, and it was exceptionally quiet. But soon, this silent sky was broken by the howls of wild animals from the mountains.
At first, I was genuinely startled and trembled when I wasn't paying attention, but after I came to my senses, hearing what sounded like a wolf's howl, and remembering my ability to collect things within a five-meter radius of my spatial dimension, it didn't seem like there was anything to be afraid of.
If it dares to come, I'll take it in. I can even knead some of its hides to make a mattress for myself, which will keep me warmer in winter.
It was a pity that we only heard the howling of wolves but did not see them, so we had to go back disappointed.
When I got home, I looked at the herbs drying outside in the yard and suddenly realized that I had forgotten to come back and collect them first.
She quickly put all the herbs into her spatial storage. Fortunately, the herbs were not wet by the dew and their medicinal properties were not damaged, which really relieved her.
